11. Goalkeeper: David de Gea (Manchester United)

Pep Guardiola called the Argentina international, Nicolas Otamendi, Superman. Manchester City center-back Nicolas Otamendi has enjoyed a great season under Pep Guardiola. He helped the Citizens win the Premier League title.

The Spurs gave a headache to big clubs, as usual. They surprised everyone in the champions league, beating Real Madrid and finishing first in the group stage. Jan Vertonghen was one of the reasons behind the Spurs’ strong defense.

Kyle Walker left Tottenham Hotspurs for Manchester City early this season. He must have got what he was looking for… a Premier League title! Walker is among the best right-backs in Europe and PFA gave him the honor by including him on the squad of the year.

7. Left-Back: Marcos Alonso (Chelsea)

This season has been rough for Chelsea, despite winning a title last year. But Marcos Alonso, individually, proved that he is a strong defender with tricky skills at scoring freekicks. He is the only Chelsea player to appear on the list of PFA team of the year.

6. Midfielder: Christian Eriksen (Tottenham Hotspur)

The name Christian Eriksen is in the transfer rumors, linking him with Barcelona move. Even if it was just rumored, one has to be very talented before being linked with Barce. Eriksen has been in fine form for Tottenham this season, earning a place in the PFA Premier League Team of the Year.

4. Midfielder: David Silva (Manchester City)

Another Manchester City player on the list. David Silva might be playing his final years on top of the game but he has been immense for Pep Guardiola this season once again. He has been the leader on the pitch many times when Vincent Kompany is absent.

3. Forward: Sergio Aguero (Manchester City)

Sergio Agüero has been named in the PFA Team of the Season for the first time in his career.

2. Forward: Harry Kane (Tottenham Hotspur)

Another good season for Tottenham Hotspur striker! Harry Kane has been a threat to Premier League defenders once again this season. The goal machine seconds the list of top scorers in England this year.

1. Forward: Mohamed Salah (Liverpool)

Nobody enjoyed this season than Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah. The Egyptian has been a threat to both Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, with many chances to grab their actual award known as Ballon d’Or. With 30 league goals this season, he is also on the list of the PFA’s team of the year.
